INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGNING.

Mr.. Bancs opponents have been amusing
themselves by sending him to England to
make speeches ON behalf of Mr.. Gladstone
and Home Rule. "Iho World" having
originated this grotcsquc plan of campaign
attempted to work it ont in detail by dis
patching special correspondent to Augusta.
Mr.. Blaine was found to be in excellent health
and spirits, and in full enjoyment of antici
pations of year of grcatly-nccdcd rest and
recreation in Europe. He talked freely about
his health, habits and journey abroad, but
emphaticaly rpudiated any intention of med
ding with the political affairs Of
another nation. "That story is purely
imaginative" he remarked What would
be thought here If some promi.
ncnt EngliShman should take the stump
during one of our National campaigns7' The
correspondent here made q gallant attempt
to rescue THE Worlds plan Of Republican
campaign 10y suggesting that speeches abroad
in aid of the Irish cause would greatly help
candidate for the Presidency. Mr.. Blaine
demurred Not at ALL was his reply. at
would react upon him without doubt
The wisdom of Mr.. Blainc's decision from
any point of view cannot be questioned. II
Observation-Disclosures have been ostcntatiously Of
fering TO him the Irish cause would have been
retarded rather than advanced. The English
people would have resented his championship
OF Home Rule on their own soil as an oct of
unwarrantablc discourtesy and olliciousneSs.
Mr. Gladstone would have been among the
first and the loudest to spurn American patron
ago in this form; and Mr. Parncll, cool
headed politician that he is, would have
cntrcated him to dcsist. Mr.. Blaine's sympa-
thy for Ireland in its constitutional battle for
legislative independence has been expressed
| most cloqucntly on American soil. lntcra
| tonal campaigning would render that sym
pathy less effective and useful than 1t is now.
1t would excite angry hostility in England
and destructive criticism in the United States.
Mr. Blaine is too sincere friend Of Ireland
TO make tho serious mistake Of volunteering
any advice to the English people on the sub
ice. Of Home Rule.

SHERMAN ON TIE SOUTH.

The Democrats and Mugwumps will not be
able to extract much comfort from Senator
Sbcrman's Springfield speech hat he said
some time ago in Nashville has been variously
twisted about in Democratic organs to make
it appear that he had revised his opinions
concerning Southern election methods. He
said yesterday: There is not an intelligent
man in this broad land of either party who
does not know that Mr.. Cleveland is now
President Of the United States by virtue of
crimes against the elective franchise, includ-
ing murder. arson, ballot-box stufling. forgery
and perjury, but for which James G. Blaine
would now be in his place"
And Mr.. Sherman followed this up
by showing that by means of majority
in tho House obtained in the same way
tho Democrats struggle to break down
the industrial system of the country, TO put
obstacles in the way of the extension Of its
foreign commerce and to do many other in
furious things These are undcniablc facts.

4 THOUGHTFUL COMMISSION.

Silence sometimes means trouble. The
Interstate Commission has made no visible
progress for some time past in settling tho
throng Of perplexing questions which crowd
it's doors. All-important action which was
clearly foreshadowed, not only by report but
by letters of the Commission, is still deferred.
This may only mean that the Commission Is
completely buried under the ton Of documents
which awaited examination when 1t rcassem
bled, and under deuge Of petitions and 10
monstrances which have since come down
upon it, and so can get no time to decide
anything. But perhaps the inference is more
reasonable that the war of words and ideas
which has ragged outside the Commission has
broken out within that body, and that it
decides nothing because members arc still
disputing about the construction Of the law
in vital points, upon which the entire course
of the Commission must turn.
1t is worth noting that the Commission has
carefully avoided any expression committing
il to an Interpretation of the one phrase upon
which the whole meaning of the Interstate
act depends "undcr substantially similar
circumstances and conditions The short
haul clause and the rebate clause both depend
upon the meaning of this phrase, in which is
embodied the radical difference between the
Senate and the House in the framing of the
act What the House wanted was a rigid
law, affecting all railroads and all traffic alike
preventing rates not proportional to distance
and preventing rebates and determinations in
all cases whatever But the Senate wanted
something very different; prohibition of these
things only under substantially similar cir
cumstances and conditions What the Senate
wanted finally became the law.
A member of the Commission who believes
that through or competing traffic Is not
"under substantially similar circumstances
and conditions with local or non competing
traffic must of necessity place very different
construction on all the important provisions
of the law from that given by one who believes
the qualifying phrases do not permit different
rates and rules for local than for through
traffic. 1t can hardly be that the avoidance
of any phrase interpreting the law in that
respect, in all the letters and orders by the
Commission. has been accidental. Certainly
it would not be strange if radical differences
of opinion on that very point had arisen
between the members OF the Commission, for
scarcely any two lawyers, jurists or legisa
tors can be found, outside of the Commission.
who give to the act precisely the same inter
probation with respect to this qualifying pro
vision.
If the Commission has at last come to the
sensible conclusion that it had better find out
what the law means before it attempts TO
enforce the law, there is good reason for
it's silence Wiser men than those who COM
pose the Commission might well spend some
silent and thoughtful months in trying TO
find out what the Interstate law does actually
mean But meanwhile the deuge of orders
and letters, issued without any apparent con-
ception Of the meaning Of the law, not I'M
properly subsidies

POOR OLD PEOPLE.


The story Of the deaths Of old Mr. and
Mrs Siedhorf at Union Hill. Ncw-Jcrcy, is
ptiful. and the more so since it looks as if the
manifestation Of little generosity by their
ncighbors might have prevented the tragedy
Respectively ninety and ninety one years of
age, this venerable couple had by degrees
fallen into indgcncc. The husband was \
scholar and a man Of science. Naturally pc
cunlaIy straits were felt bitterly by him. and
when increasing age and debility made him
incapable Of keeping his little holding in
order tho neighbors appear TO have become
offended and TO have reached the conclusion
that the best solution Of the difficulty was
to dispatch the poor old people TO the poor
house This was their sentence Of death.
Tho poor house meant not only utter dcgrada-
ton, but what was far less endurablc TO them.
namely separation Public institutions Of the
kind are conducted with a "practicality," q
total disregard Of what some people cal 'scn-
timent,' which is liable to wear the aspect Of
brutality in the eyes Of such as hold that
love may very well be an integral part of life
and ought to be full half of it.
Tho rule being that man and wife may not
live together in the poor house, they arc
thrust apart without ceremony. and this was
the fate that awaited an educated, refined.
sensitive and alToctionatc husband and wife
who had lived together so long that their
lives made but single existence. Nothing
so disastrous as separation could happen IT,
them. TO pretend to provide for them, to
prolong their lives, on tho fatal condition
that they should thenceforth live apart from
one another, must have seemed to them .
bitter mOckcry. The announcement of the
officer who came to carry them to the poor
house was In effect the end Of all things TO
them They could not accept further exist
cncc on such terms. They therefore elected
to die. SO this poor old couple of nonagcna-
rians took poison together, and lay down
and vetoed tho decision of the local author
tiles by dying. II was sorry end of W hat
must have been q prolonged tragedy, and it
is pity that instead Of sending the Siedhorfs
to the poor-housc, an effort was not made to
procure for them the very modest pittance
which would have sufliccd to maintain them
during tho inevitably brief remnant of their
lives together and under roof having some
of the meaning OF home for them. The
owner Of the house they occupied seems to
have used them kindly. and William Peters.
the brewer, was also generous TO them Surely
they might have been taken care of elsewhere
than in the almshouse, and surely even those
who arc most shocked at their suicide must
BIO slow TO impute blame when the trial and
temptation were so strong.
